Ok, so your acceptor was "unopened". Note that you can use the constructor that creates & opens the acceptor (i.e. puts it into listening mode):

You were right, my apologies. Apparently, the problem was lying in preparing the acceptor to wait for clients. I was doing .bind() on it, but I was forgetting to do .listen().
